Abstract :
Several magnetron injection gun cathodes have been measured for temperature and emission uniformity. The measurements confirm results in Russia that the quality of many MIG cathodes is not sufficient for efficient gyrotron operation. This presentation will present recent cathode measurements and identify known issues. A design will be presented that provides a solution for several of these issues.
